Chapter 1905
Roanne could not help frowning when she heard Charlotte’s disdainful tone.
She stared at Charlotte’s cold, chiseled face and protested, “But Charlotte, I…”
There was a hint of embarrassment in her tone as she said, “I’m in love with someone else.”
Charlotte immediately furrowed her brows upon hearing this.
She shot Roanne a cold glare. “You’re in love with someone else? Who is it?
“Don’t you dare tell me that Joshua Lynch managed to successfully seduce you with one of his men!”
Roanne bit her lip when she heard Charlotte utter the word ‘seduce.’
“No, of course not.”
Charlotte narrowed her eyes and stared at her sister with a dubious look. “Who is it, then?”
Roanne froze in her tracks.
The person she was in love with was none other than Theo.
She could not resist gentle, intelligent, and scholarly artists like Theo, but he was Joshua and Luna’s friend, after all.
If she were to say Theo’s name, Charlotte would immediately be convinced that he had other intentions for approaching her, even if that was not the truth.
To Roanne, Theo had not been trying to get close to her on purpose at all. All he did was help Joshua and Luna lure her into their car and nothing more.
Roanne swiveled her eyes and suddenly recalled the name of the butler’s son.
She turned around, seemingly in a good mood, and walked out the door. “I’ll go check on Jim.”
Roanne remained motionless as she watched her leave, and for the first time ever, the silent tolerance in her eyes was replaced by red-hot hatred.
Inside the study, Jim was listening to the vice president of Landry Group’s oral report.
Joshua had managed to buy out most of Landry Group’s shares in less than a morning, and at this moment, Landry Group was on the verge of bankruptcy.
“Now that our stock prices have plummeted to an all-time low, all the shareholders have started selling their shares, and these shares were bought out by the same person.
“If we don’t find a way to reacquire these shares, this man will become the biggest shareholder, apart from Ms. Luna, of Landry Group within an hour.
“If Ms. Luna were to leave Landry Group now, this man will become the newest and most influential member of the board…” Jim furrowed his brows when he heard this.
